Exporting Candidate Data

To meet record-keeping requirements, you may wish to create a document containing historical candidate testing records. Wonderlic Select account owners and admins are able to generate tabular data extracts of these candidate records, including candidate names and contact information, job opening information, and testing results.

Use of a Data Extract

Human resources professionals recognize the importance of diligent record keeping for all steps in their application and hiring processes. So, Wonderlic provides Wonderlic Select account owners and admins the ability to generate extracts including all candidate testing data.

These reports are intended for record-keeping purposes only, and they should not be used as a substitute for full candidate results reports. Wonderlic recommends that all selection decisions are made in the context of all available candidate information which can include information collected through resumes, phone screens, testing, and interviews. Due to the nature of the data, additional analyses should only be conducted by individuals with a solid understanding of applied statistical methodology.

Generating a Data Extract

To generate a candidate data report, click on the action menu (the three vertically-stacked dots) at the upper right side of the Wonderlic Select dashboard, then select "Export Wonderlic Select Data" from the menu that appears.

NOTE: Classic dashboard users can access the reports-generating feature from the Additional Actions section located on the right side of the dashboard.

Then, on the screen that appears, click the "Create Report" button.

If you have not yet agreed to the Intended Use Agreement* you will be prompted to do so before the report generates. Depending on the amount of candidate data you have amassed, the report may take a few minutes to generate.

*You can view the Intended Use Agreement at any time via overflow menu on the data extract landing page or table page.

Download a Data Extract

Downloading a data extract report is as easy as clicking the "Download Report" button. A CSV file will be generated, which can easily be converted an Excel worksheet.

REMINDER: Downloads reflect any data manipulation that has been done on screen. For example, if an 'Active status' filter has been applied, only the Active candidates displayed on screen will appear on the downloaded CSV file. If you prefer to see all data, select "Show All" in the Show/Hide Columns drop down and clear all filters.

NOTE: The ability to export data is available only to account owners and admins because ALL candidate data is available on the report - including data that might not otherwise be visible to some Wonderlic Select users for your organization.

This limitation provides enhanced security of your candidates' personal data and testing results.
